When your need for speed and your need for mobility converge, look to the ThinkPad X1 carbon laptop to rise to the occasion. The same full-powered Intel® Core™ processors that fuel many 14" and 15" laptops are built right into the X1s slim frame.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon Ultrabook Features

Uncommonly Intuitive Adaptive Keyboard

The unique Adaptive Keyboard automatically changes the row of function keys depending on what application you're in. Less clutter, more function, and a streamlined keyboard that anticipates your needs.

Constructed with satellite-grade carbon fiber, X1 Carbon business Ultrabooks are the toughest ThinkPads ever made. In fact, we perform eight separate military specification tests—all under extreme conditions with dust, vibration, heat, cold, altitude, water, and humidity—so you can laugh in the face of spills, drops, heat exposure, or anything else life throws your way.

Business-Class Ultrabook Security

Available with fingerprint reader, X1 Carbon lets you use biometrics for login, so the swipe of your finger becomes your password. Intel® security features and vPro options step up protection and enhance manageability when deploying upgrades. The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip further encrypts your critical information.

Patently Cool: Revolutionary New Thermal Technology

Even with its ultrathin design, the new X1 Carbon stays cooler than ever. In fact, we re-engineered our patented fan blades—so X1 Carbon provides the same cool and quiet performance you expect from a ThinkPad.

Uncompromisingly Thin

Starting at just 2.83 lbs, the new X1 Carbon is the lightest 14" Ultrabook™ on the planet. And at just 0.7" thin, it's the thinnest ThinkPad ever.

Business Ultrabooks With Longer Battery Life

The new X1 Carbon delivers up to 9 hours of battery life on a single charge. And if you do run low, don't fret: with RapidCharge you get 80% battery restored in just under an hour.
